lyrics
Thank you for going back in time
And thwarting my assassin
And while we’re laughing about it
I know you didn’t really do that
This was a test and you failed
Before you fire I should inform you
One of us is a double
I took the trouble to swap ties
Somebody taps you on the shoulder
You don't know who is your friend
Let’s all just take a deep breath
And slowly lower our weapons to the floor
I am alone in the three part folding mirror
On the bathroom door
I am alone in the three part folding mirror
On the bathroom door
Everyone take off your disguises
I see you and your brother
Dressed as each other this time
So now it appears the double crossers
Have been too clever by half
The fox has been outfoxed again
The row of smug expressions
All arrayed around are wiped away so
Let’s all just take a deep breath
And slowly lower our weapons to the floor
I am alone in the three part folding mirror
On the bathroom door
I am alone in the three part folding mirror
On the bathroom door
I'm by myself in the three part folding mirror
On the bathroom door
for there first album they kick fucking ass with it the only song i have to complain about is be born besides that everything in this album is gold even released just a friend with it

Ross J. Farrar of Ceremony creates dubby outside punk evoking the minimalism of Young Marble Giants on his second solo record. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2024
Despite following tMG since 1996, the full impact of this devastating album was delayed for me - but when it did hit its power knocked me over. Dozens of listens later and I’m still uncovering nuances I’d missed, noticing sumptuous (dare I say!) turns of phrase, and finding excuses to play it yet again - the dishes, a walk - so that I can marinate in the big questions it asks, the small comforts it offers, and the redemption it promises to those who listen closely. Stunning across the board. erinmack
